| Advice & Discussions | BF wants to take things to a new level spiritually.. Hey guys. My bf is amazing, he's one of the best and honest and loyal guys ive ever met. I am very in love with him. Recently he has decided he wants to reconnect with his christian faith, which he has been letting slip for the past 9 months or so. He grew up in the church (he's now 21) and is very well versed in all aspects. | ..And he said we have a "spiritual connection".. Hi everyone!
Well, here is my problem. I have been single for a few years and decided to try online dating again. So I joined Match. Well, one guy's profile I came across sounded interesting, so I got in touch. I heard from him 3 weeks later. Apparently, he didn't check his messages. | Spiritual and positive friends I feel very fortunate to have such dear friends who are of the spiritually enlightened kind (not necessarily religious). They are benevolent, warm, positive, and all-around inspiring individuals to be around. Since developing a relationship with them over the years, on more than one set of terms, their way of being always rubs off onto me whenever I am around them. | Something Spiritual If you're not into this, please skip it and don't be offended. My friend just brought me this passage from the Bible, and I am thinking it over. I've read it many many times, in the past, and I think it is part of my general philosophy of living and loving - which may help some of you to better understand where I am coming from. | Feeling a strong spiritual connection for my ex um yeah okay so like ever since my ex brokeup me i have been doing a bit better, i think the NC thing works really well-of course i am still hurt but it really helped me feel much better, if i haven't found this place, i don't know what i would have done, anyway however, for the past week i've have been feeling these very strong vibes -this very strong connection and having dreams about him a lot that keeps telling me to not let go of him. |
